Expanded Universe costume/prop photos! (4/5 - Tenel Ka Djo's lightsaber XD)

For a number of years now, I've been into Star Wars costuming and I've had a lot of fun and made a lot of friends through it. Recently I've realized how many photos/costumes/etc. I've amassed and figured I could actually do something with them like post them perhaps, haha~

I know these are costumes/props and there is a costume/prop forum but not all of these are my costumes and there are photos I took of friends in EU costumes as well. I figured they could all find a home in this thread and I could add more as I take them or make stuff.

First off, I have some photos I took of my friends Lalei and Xion as Tahiri Veila and Anakin Solo from the Junior Jedi Knights series! It was at Dragon*Con in Atlanta, GA Labor Day weekend 2010. I had a lot of fun taking these and they were both so adorable in their costumes. ^_^

I hope you enjoy and I hope to post more stuff soon!

 

For the same convention where I took the above photos, I had a couple Tenel Ka Djo costumes there for an EU costume gathering! One of my favorite aspects of Tenel Ka's character has always been her lightsaber. I had tried my hand at making a couple before, but they had only been the hilt and I also got an amazing replica online by Nocturne Armory. So I had three before this point! XD

I figured it would be fun to try another one though, this one with a working blade. I knew if I tried to put together the electronics part on my own I would most likely hurt myself, so I ordered a base saber from ultrasabers.com. Then I took to that hilt with paperclay and paint and a couple add-ons! It doesn't look exactly like the pictures that have been shown of her saber (this one is thinner - I needed something easy to hold cause I have a small grip, haha XD -- also I needed to be able to take the bottom off to replace the batteries), but I had a lot of fun making it.

More information on the saber (random rambling about it and more details on making it and so on) and a couple more shots can be found here!

Next up should be some Caedus photos!
